This project is a part of Xavier University?s Mission Animators program. Mission Animators are a group of Xavier faculty and staff working with President Michael Graham, S.J. to more deeply integrate Xavier?s Jesuit identity into everyday life at Xavier. Inspired by the words of Pope Francis, the first Jesuit and current pontiff, the group chose the theme of immigration as a focus for the 2016-2017 academic year. With the generous gift of an anonymous Xavier supporter, mini-grants were offered to faculty and staff to create programming around the topic. More information about fall and spring semester topics and the program may be found here.
